Chapter 133 : Hwangcheonju vs. Yoo Jae-ha (1)
A child who looked to be about 5 years old was crying.
"It's all over now. It's over! Sob, sob, sob!"
The gamble had failed, and the futures of two promising individuals had been ruined by a madman.
All the virtue he had accumulated would be blown away, and he, who had reversed the heavens, would surely fall into a wretched hell.
The madman who was the cause of all this approached.
"Hehe. Hehe. Hehe."
That was real. If that was acting, it would be a talent unparalleled in the world.
Hyeonjang was a being who had once reached the law of causality.
In that process, he was able to glimpse one of the rules that make up the world.
Although the method could not be said to be just, the fact that he had reached it was important.
The reason Hyeonjang had been able to live for so many years was thanks to the influence of the law of causality he had glimpsed at that time.
The value of power is different for each person.
For a scholar, power would be knowledge, for a merchant, power would be money, and for an official, power would be authority.
For Hyeonjang, the value of power was a vast experience that an ordinary person could not dare to accumulate.
Even if the value of power was different for each person, if it accumulated and accumulated, even a finite person could reach infinity.
Hyeonjang had seen it himself.
However, when one became infinite, one was no longer a person.
In the martial world, this is expressed as 'becoming an immortal,' but no one knew exactly what one became. Because all those who had reached it had disappeared from the human world.
Therefore, Hyeonjang was able to return from infinity to finitude by trading all his vast experience with the law of causality.
The law of causality is ultimately an infinite crystallization made of countless causes and countless results.
If only the cause was just, deriving a result was not an impossible task for Hyeonjang, who had glimpsed the law of causality.
Of course, to do this, as mentioned before, a power that could reach the heavens was needed.
However, this was not a just trade.
The law of causality, in other words, is ultimately a collection of causes and results.
Hyeonjang was originally supposed to abandon his physical body and proceed to infinity, which was the correct result.
Hyeonjang created a new cause based on his vast experience and derived a result that did not exist before.
The law of causality, which is a collection of numerous causes and results, is like a great flow in a broad sense.
A set cause must reach a result.
Such things gather to create the great flow of the law of causality.
Hyeonjang could be said to be an obstacle that had suddenly intervened in such a flow.
Therefore, for Hyeonjang, there was a backlash for going against the law of causality.
That was that he would lose everything he had accumulated in the process of returning to finitude.
So Hyeonjang had now returned to being a child.
And there was one major drawback to this, it was purely a matter of luck what gender, body, and talent he would have when he returned to being a child.
Fortunately, his previous life had good luck, so he was able to have the talent to reach the Profound Other, but now everything was over.
Fortunately, he still had his private parts.
His gender was the same!
"To think I got the worst one!"
But he had failed in the lottery of talent.
Even if he tried his whole life, he would barely reach the vicinity of the first-rate.
"Hehehe."
He had gambled because he had no hope for the future in the first place, but he had drawn the worst of the worst.
Hyeonjang, in the face of repeated bad luck, just let go of his sanity.
"Hehehe!"
The fact that a mere human had maintained his sanity for a long time of 300 years could be called a miracle.
Hyeonjang's mind finally broke due to the bust named Yoo Jae-ha.
* * *
I don't know what method he used, but the old man had turned into a child.
If I told anyone about this sight now, they would point their fingers at me and call me a madman.
Because even I, who was seeing it directly, couldn't believe it.
But I, who had met the former Heavenly Demon and my father's gambling best friend, was surprised by this situation, but I didn't think it was completely impossible.
-The Profound Realm is the very beginning of accepting infinity into a finite body. The fact that you regressed can also be said to be just one of the possibilities that can happen in the realm of infinity. So, Jae-ha, don't be too surprised no matter what happens in the future. Because you will see a very wide variety of things.
Although I never imagined it would be something like this.
The former Heavenly Demon and my father's best friend also said this.
-However, since humans are finite beings, the number of such miracles they can perform is only one. In your case, since you have already regressed, it must be the end. As expected of my friend's son. Your luck is the worst.
It's sad. I was deprived of even the opportunity to expect what kind of miracle, what would be drawn. I hadn't even drawn, but I already knew the result. I couldn't even gamble in the first place.
And to borrow the words of the former Heavenly Demon and my father's gambling best friend, the fact that he had performed such a strange act meant that the kid who was crying and making a fuss over there had reached the end of the Profound Realm.
At this point, a question arose in my mind.
"Excuse me, old man."
The kid who had stopped crying at my call.
"You don't seem too surprised that I've become young! Brat."
When the kid used an old man's tone, I wanted to smack him on the head, but I held it in. Even though he looks like that, he is the Divine Monk's master.
"Yes. Because anyone in this world can experience a miracle once."
I conveyed the rest of my words through telepathy because it would be a little troublesome if the people here heard it.
-Just like I regressed.
"So what? I'm in a very bad mood right now, so make it brief!"
Should I just beat him up?
Anyway, what the old man had shown just now was a mysterious miracle that could only be obtained by reaching the end of the Profound Realm.
"Old man who has glimpsed the law of causality, why did you run away? You must have had enough power."
Even the Mad World Heavenly Demon, who occupied half of the martial world, had clearly said that he had not reached it. That's why he had no choice but to convey it in this incomplete way.
If the old man who had reached the end of the Profound Realm was there, the chicken mask would be no match for him.
"Ahem!"
The kid, that is, the young old man, cleared his throat and subtly lowered his gaze.
"I didn't see it directly."
"What?"
"I just glimpsed what someone else showed me. And I got this ability!"
So, to summarize the young old man's words, he had received a proxy? That's what it meant.
Well, it's a similar feeling to someone else teaching you something like enlightenment? In the first place, putting that aside, to have achieved something on his own even by simply glimpsing it was something that was only possible if the young old man himself was superior to others.
"So, what else can you do?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"Yeah! I'm just a child now. I offered my experience to the law of causality and returned to a state of nothingness without experience! Besides, this time, my luck in the lottery was bad, so my physical talent is the worst. I have to fill another 100 years to draw again. Because that's the minimum condition to be able to 'reincarnate'."
"You mean you're completely useless now?"
"Exactly!"
"That, the current leader of the Secret Cult is looking for the old man, right?"
"Yeah! To him, I'm the only one who threatens his position!"
I grabbed the young old man by the scruff of his neck and lifted him up.
"W-What are you doing!"
"I'm going to make a deal with the current leader of the Secret Cult. I'll give him the former leader of the Secret Cult, so let us go purely."
"T-T-This! How much I've sacrificed for you!"
Grin.
I smiled and said.
"The first law of the Demonic Path, a Demonic Path practitioner pursues extreme practicality."
A moment later, unfortunately, the young old man was not sold.
"He! He! To me!"
"Yes, did he?"
"Yeah! He did!"
"Now, now! Calm down, and stop!"
Sigh. I let out a sigh. I had forgotten that Seryeong was weak to children.
Seryeong, who had woken up from her qi circulation, her eyes had deepened as if she had gained enlightenment. And seeing the young old man being thrown outside, she took the young old man from me and was now like that.
The young old man rubbing his face all over in Seryeong's arms.
Seryeong, even knowing that that guy's identity was the old man, was accepting his childish behavior. The kid is too nice, that's the problem. As a true Demonic Path practitioner, I couldn't understand.
The Mad Demon had also woken up, but he didn't seem to have any particular interest in the old man having changed like that. He had been warming up since a while ago, and it seemed he had also gained enlightenment.
However, the people here, seeing the young old man, were bowing down, saying he was the reincarnation of the leader of the Secret Cult.
Do they know that that kid is useless? Ignorance is bliss, so let's just leave it.
I came to the conclusion that I should get rid of the perverted old man quickly.
And I now roughly understood how the situation was going.
'No wonder, everything has been going wrong since I regressed.'
It was not simply a coincidence. It was an inevitability that had arisen because I had regressed.
To be more precise, it was a result created by the guy called the law of causality to eliminate me.
Everything I was experiencing now was a result that another being should have experienced.
So, the guy called the law of causality was in the middle of doing his best to derive the original result.
To eliminate me.
And he had used the Chaotic Heavenly Society as a means to do so.
Well, to put it simply, putting aside the Chaotic Heavenly Society, if I just return the person who should be in the original place to the original place, my twisted life will also be smoothly resolved.
'I'll live as a commoner in the countryside, sucking honey and living an ordinary life!'
All this that I had originally experienced was the fate that my junior sister should have experienced.
So, if I just return my junior sister to her original place, the law of causality will also find its place, and I will also be able to achieve my dream.
'Since my junior sister is now the young leader of the Divine Cult, if I just teach her the martial arts I received from the mister, my junior sister will take care of all the Chaotic Heavenly Society guys on her own.'
Yes! This is life!
To have come back to this easy task like this.
What the mister said at the end was a little strange, but let's just let it go. My junior sister will take care of that on her own anyway.
After finishing my business in Tianzhu, let's quickly return to the Central Plains and correct everything that has gone wrong!
For now, I could say that I had seen all my business in Tianzhu. The rampaging energy in my body had been calmed down long ago. If I returned to the Central Plains as it is, it would be a very clean end, but there was still an unresolved matter.
Of course, it was due to the damn law of causality.
That chicken mask.
If I go back as it is, that guy will surely chase me.
Because I have what that guy is looking for.
I looked at the perverted old man who was rubbing his face in Seryeong's arms with a happy expression.
I looked at that and made up my mind. Yes, let's throw that perverted bastard to the chicken mask.
At the same time, I was also curious.
Can I see that guy's level now?
-With this much, you won't get beaten up anywhere.
The Mad World Heavenly Demon mister had said that I was at a level where I wouldn't get beaten up. What level is that?
At that time, I couldn't even see the strength of the chicken mask at all.
Well, since I'm not going to fight anyway, I don't need to know.
And that chicken mask will be made into samgyetang or dakbokkeum by my junior sister who has regained her original place.
Ah!
'I can just exchange that perverted old man and Fatima, right?'
And I can also take care of my business with Fatima.
This is a complete win-win.
"Hehehe."
The young Hyeonjang, feeling a chill from the sudden backstabbing, flinched, but he decided to do his best in this moment.
Because the lives of everyone here would end soon anyway.
'Uhehehe. This is paradise.'
It was the moment when the young Hyeonjang, for the first time in exactly 300 years, had mastered the pinnacle of life.
* * *
The place where the main headquarters of the Secret Cult was located was called the end of the world by the people of Tianzhu.
We were now preparing to go to the end of the world.
The villagers saw us off.
"Thank you!"
"Big brother! Be careful!"
"If it's hard, run away. We have no more regrets. What we have received so far is enough."
I felt a little strange. I was originally planning to throw the young old man to the chicken mask and leave for the Central Plains.
As I stood there blankly, the Sword Demoness poked me from behind.
"We're ready."
"Y-Yeah. We have to go."
I left the people behind and got on the camel.
Looking back, the people were waving at us.
Yes, let's add the condition of abolishing the slave class in exchange. He'll probably agree to this much.
Gurat and his party were in charge of guiding the way.
We followed Gurat and crossed the desert. Gurat, in the desert with only sand, I don't know how he did it, but he walked the path without hesitation.
The sun set, and the stars rose.
The stars set, and the sun rose.
We walked, and walked, and walked.
"This is the end of the world, the place where the main headquarters of the Tianzhu Secret Cult is located."
Was it this easy to get here?
I felt completely scammed.
